7 1/2″ bloom, 28″ tall, Early-Mid Season + rebloom, Dormant
‘Brown Recluse’ is a scary name for a gorgeous daylily. Named after a real spider (and a dangerous one at that!) ‘Brown Recluse’ is quite a lovely sight in the garden. Brown is an unusual color in daylilies in general and ‘Brown Recluse’ is the only brown spider-type daylily of which we know. Perhaps that is why it is such a magnet for garden visitors. Blooms are a rich mahogany brown with a faint darker brown halo and distinct yellow midribs and edging. So beautiful you can’t stop staring and so unusual you can’t look away– be prepared to spend lots of time in the garden staring at this lovely daylily.

WHAT DAYLILIES CAN I GROW: Most of you can grow any of the daylilies we sell. If you live in an area with a sustained cold period like we do in East Tennessee, you can grow all the varieties. However, If you live in an area that doesn’t get freezing weather in the winter (like zones 9 and 10), dormant varieties won’t work for you; you’ll need to choose evergreen or semi-evergreen varieties.
BIG PLANTS! When it comes to daylily plants, bigger is better! All of the plants we ship will be three fans or larger — two or three times (or more) what you might receive from other companies. Larger plants get established faster and bloom more quickly!
FARM-FRESH TO YOU! All of your plants will be freshly dug when you order. The leaves are trimmed and the plants are washed and air-dried. Your daylilies will be out of the ground less than 48 hours before they’re headed your way.
BONUS DAYLILIES: We send free daylilies (we call them “bonus” daylilies) with every order. These daylilies are equal to about 20% of your order, you get to choose what you’d like at checkout.

Ordered this in May and is blooming now! Looks exactly like the picture. So happy with this daylily. Thank for the hardy plant and all the others I acquired from your selections. Bertha Heathcote.

I like this plant, mine isn’t quite as deep of a brown, but it is still brown. I question the plant height description (28 in.) Because while the foliage is around 28 inches, my Brown recluse’s flower scapes are much taller, nearly 40 inches. Which is cool, because I planted it in the back of the border. Lots of scapes, a vigorous plant. It’s been blooming all June, hopefully into July. In the hot California’s central valley day lilies start blooming earlier a little sooner than most areas. It’s not the brightest color, but it’s cool looking definitely different!

I’ve had Brown Recluse for several years. It gets about 1-1/2 hours of mid morning sun – the rest of the time it has filtered shade – which is probably why mine is truly BROWN! The yellow edgings are more precise – like pencil lines, and it is about 8′ taller. All these are pluses for me as I LOVE IT! It’s so unusual and elegant. The negative for me (likely the shade) is that it has never increased. I love it in this location, so I am going to order a couple more to increase the scape and bud count. It’s worth it!

I give this a 9 only because the color is not as rich as shown. It is still very pretty, though, and produced a lot of flowers it’s first year in my garden.
